It’s been sort of a hectic week for me, coming back from a long weekend and being bombarded at work. I’m exhausted but, wanted to take a time out to share last weekend with you.

Friday, I took my Brother and company to watch game 2 of the Giants vs Braves series right here at home for my bro’s 22nd birthday. Beer and Baseball = LOVE. There’s NOTHIN’ like a night game at AT&T park.

Saturday – Monday I spent a much needed long weekend in the city of Angels with my angels — The BFF and my LA loves, Baker, Tee and Anna. My girlfriends are chicken soup for my soul.

Sometimes a couple days away full of friends and food is all you need. In this case, it was everything I needed.

Me and my five pound food baby (seriously, I can’t even suck that shit in anymore) are back from thee most amazing time on the rock. Give me a few to get situated and I’ll be back with a recap, food pictures, and more of my usual.

from not being able to get on the flight due to my passport (which had my maiden name on it) to a 10 hour flight, to jumping off cliffs and swimming in the rain, to hours of driving on the wrong side of the road, to the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen. from butterflies showing up on command, to the best ocean water i’ve ever been in, to eating jerk and plantains all day, and almost being struck by lightning TWICE. from eating lobster on the beach, to jellyfish stings, climbing waterfalls, bobsledding in the rain, and Pure White Hennessey. from losing passports, to finding passports, to being harassed by, offered herb by, and then proposed to by the locals. It was more than I ever imagined.
